Hudson Victim -- Murdered by His Own Gun?

Jason HudsonOne of the victims in the Hudson murder case could have been shot to death by his own weapon.

Jennifer Hudson's brother Jason owned a gun that may have been identical to the murder weapon, according to law enforcement sources and neighbors who spoke with the Chicago Tribune.

According to those sources, Jason said the gun had been stolen from the family home -- the crime scene -- a few months ago.

Law enforcement sources are now investigating whether the gun used in the Hudson triple murders once belonged to Jason Hudson.

Jason's brother-in-law, William Balfour is the suspect in the case.

121. I just went out to cnn, but I don't see a link to the latest interview with Wiliam's mom. Does anyone have a link? Was it cnn or somebody else?

To closethegates:

Do the bodies really matter? The souls certainly don't care at his point. The services are for the living, not the dead.

You hate me because I've disagreed with you, but I'm not your enemy. I would be a happy little clam if you were right about William; I have no problem if I it turns out I'm wrong about everything and I've offered to give you some new talking points.

You could use some support, but you're most interested in telling people to f*** off and you don't seem to realize you're the worst enemy for the people you want to protect.

I made an offer a few pos

We don't agree on many issues, but I could be a better spokesperson for William than you. You're not doing him any favors.

I could make a better case for William's innocence than you, and i don't really think he's innocent!

William would be much better off if his friends shut up. As the saying goes, "With friends like this, who needs enemies"?

122. " I made an offer a few pos"

Apologies to anyone who is still reading. That should read ' a few posts ago'.

Not that it matters.

"i speak very will english who's to say "

Ms closethegate, you are hereby ordered to explain these words in the context of the English language.

You have received an easy pass, as I'm not addressing the rest of your comments.

Proceed, and remember this! If you have an internet connection to TMZ, you also have a connection to on-line dictionaries, as wll as spelling and grammar checks.

May you never be my friend if I have legal troubles.

124. I too will look for this latest interview, but thanks for posting that link, closethegate.
Blessings to all, and I really want everyone to be oik.
I disagree with closethegate, but I want them to be safe and ok.
Please God, watch out for them. And the rest of us too. We may not behave well on these internets, but all of care deeply about senseless violence. Look into our hearts, not our internet obsessions.

Thank you.

Huh?? I always post under mindy. That's not my real name, but you
don't post under your real name so you don't get the moral high
ground. I don't recall any comments about your typos. You would
comment on this, because you certainly are unwilling to have
intelligent dialogue about substantive issues. Note that I said
unwilling and not incapable.

I had more respect for you when you were fighting, no matter how
ineffectively.

Now, you're just a cheap ass fraud.You haven't written one comment
that puts William in a positve light, Making a good case for Julia's
involvement does not translate into William looking more innocent.

I can think of many legal avenues that would work in William's favor.
His supporters actually have quite a bit to work with. They seem
determined to show everyone they don't have to respond to this legal
crap! I could frame him in a more positive light and I think he’s guilty.

If I should ever be in trouble, I have an advantage, My friends and
family may not have experience with the legal system, but they would
certainly know the difference between Maury and his lie detectors and
the actual legal charges.

You think I’m your enemy because we disagree on some things, but your
real enemies are the ones that nod their heads no matter what you say.

You can make plenty of people look bad, but you've done nothing to
make William to look good.

What was your position again?

127. So, Julia and Jennifer WILL NOT be at their family's memorial. Were they creamated? My God, those tow look more and more guilty.Absence looks like guilt not mounrning!There would be nothing to stop me from being at something like that no matter who I may be!I suppose they are too upity to be there.Either they are in straight jackets or they are just plain guilty of something. They also need closure and funerals, memorials are ways to let go, start to heal. Let the ball drop, I need to know who did this or I may still have the nightmares associated with this case. I dont know why I care so much, these are folks who watched so many people die over the years in the same ways, J n J should be accustomed to this type of gathering! As a white person, I lived in the ghetto of North Philly for 19 years, my family came from actual nazi ghettos as well. Frick them! What two losers to not go to this thing! Their loved ones would like to see them I am sure UNLESS...Maybe they are marked for death themselves and they know it! Someone there will pull out a gun and it will start all over again! I give up on this stroy officially I don't give a shoit! If those two sisters don't care enough to be there to see their family off to God and the pearly gates, Noone on this blog should care either! Let them go, the press and paparazzi will be there anyway right?With or without them there.Some love in that Family! Ever hear of bullet proof vests, or security? Don't worry gals,they will still be watching even a few years from now!
Well, Goodbye to Darnell Donerson, Jason Hudson and Little baby boy Julian King, may you find the light and eternal peace with your lord and saviour Jesus Christ Amen...

128. Get Real ~ Your remarks about white mothers killing children are just plain dumb.......stereotyped just like IF I was to say black women are ghetto. People like that are just plain ignorant. Makes me sick.
There are numerous things that don't add up in this case. I also agree Julia had a hand in this.

129. #132...No one ever said they are not attending the memorial service. They chose not to attend the public memorial service, I dont blame them. They are holding a private funeral today by invite only, for close family and friends.

So many people jump to conclusions without reading everything first.

130. Hey me.

This was a public memorial memorial, designed for the large numbers of the public who care deeply for all sorts of reasons.

The and burial service and according religious services will be private, and can anybody really complain about this?

131. Just because you are not an officer or a PI doesn't make a persons opinion OR theory far fetched. Sometimes it takes people on outside looking in to make sense of everything. The ONLY thing on here that makes people look dumb is when someone makes reference to RACE and WEIGHT. As well as name calling. Hmm....and people wonder what is a matter with society!!!

You have been out there from day one and you've always been an ardent support of William. I have said nothing to the contrary.

What exactly did I get wrong? I don't agree with you on plenty, but I've tried to be honest and I still think I I could do more for your side than you can!

But I still wish you well and I hope you're doing ok. And I could still give you some new talking points if you at all interested.

135. know this isn't meant to be a referendum on either candidate but one thing that bothers me more and more about Obama is that his state Illinois-and in particular Chicago-apparently has the highest murder rate in the country now

and with the 3 deaths of Jennifer Hudson's family members taking over the headlines it brings this under the spotlight for me even more so-news media outlets don't seem to be adding up the connection-and so find myself thinking that if the citizens there are not safe walking down the street with him as their senator-----why would I feel safe with him as my president-what has he done for Chicago the past few years-or Illinois?
this makes me nervous about what he will/will not do for America

sure I'm worried about the money in my wallet and how much I will or will not have
BUT if I'm not safe and alive to spend it-what does it matter ???????
